NINE

9 month update

crawling EVERYWHERE. The childproofing has begun!

Top 2 front teeth made their appearance

Slept through the night once or twice for the first time

Goes to bed at 8:30 or 9 wakes up at 5-6 then back to sleep till 8:30 or 9

takes 2 naps a day ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours each nap

puts himself to sleep now. for naps he will cry for 1 minute then talk to himself and his teddy bear for 20 minutes before falling asleep, but for some reason when I put him down at night he will cry a lot longer and it has been like this the last two months. I have tried leaving the light on, and other such things but he still will cry for 20 minutes. breaks my heart

9 month gusbert I am loving the sound of your hands slapping against the wood floor and your feet swishing as you crawl from here to there and everywhere.
